In ISO 20022

MT942 is not converted on this site. The same check exists in camt: the transaction summary (TxsSummry) of a camt.052 or camt.053 counts and sums the entries too.

Checks the viewer runs

  • mt.summary: Entry totals differ (MT942 :90D: / :90C: number and sum of entries)

Worth knowing

  • The validator recounts the :61: lines and reports totals that differ (mt.summary).

Read :90D: / :90C: from a script or an AI agent

Scripts and AI agents can do the same without a browser: POST /api/v1/parse or the MCP tool parse_mt940 returns every statement as JSON: balances, each :61: split into its subfields and each :86: with its structured parts. No key is needed, and the file is processed in memory and never stored (API and MCP docs).
